There is one basic bass run that is used throughout the whole song, with the exception
of one part of the intro, and leading into the chorus.
This song is really easy.
 
Chords used:
 
Em   022000
C/E  032010
G    320003
A7   x02020
D    xx0232

[Verse 1]
 
Em            C/E        G    Run 1
   I'm going out sleepwalking
      Em        C/E          G    Run 1
Where mute memories start talking
    Em                 C/E           G   Run 1
The boss that couldn't help but hurt you
        Em                C/E        G   Run 1
And the pretty thing you made desert you
    Em        C/E      G  Run 1
I'm going out like a baby
    Em          C/E     G  Run 1
A naive unsatisfiable baby
Em                 C/E       G   Run 1
Grabbing on to whatever's around
        Em                  C/E        G  Run 1A
For the soaring high or the crushing down
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A7                               Am
   With hidden cracks that don't show
   D                     C
But that constantly just grow
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
    Em               C/E              G  Run 1
I'm looking for the man that attacked me
      Em            C/E         G  Run 1
While everybody was laughing at me
    Em                  C/E       G Run 1
You beat it in me, that part of you
        Em              C/E     G  Run 1A
But I'm gonna split us back in two
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A7                      Am
   Tired of living in a cloud
                D                              C
If you're gonna say shit now, you'll do it out loud
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Em         C/E         G    Run 1
   It's 2:45 in the morning
        Em          C/E      G    Run 1
And I'm putting myself on warning
    Em              C/E       G   Run 1
For waking up in an unknown place
       Em                  C/E    G    Run 1A
With a recollection you've half erased
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A7                        Am
   Looking for somebody's arms
  D               C     Run 1
To wave away past harms
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
    Em             C         G   Run 1
I'm walking out on center circle
    Em                   C         G   Run 1
The both of you can just fade to black
    Em             C         G   Run 1
I'm walking out on center circle
     Em                   C         G   Run 1
Been pushed away and I'll never go back

her are the full lyrics from azlyrics.com "2:45 AM" I'm going out sleepwalking Where mute memories start talking The boss that couldn't help but hurt you And the pretty thing he made desert you I'm going out like a baby A naive unsatisfiable baby Grabbing onto whatever's around For the soaring high or the crushing down Hidden cracks that don't show But that constantly just grow Looking for the man that attacked me While everybody was laughing at me You beat it in me, that part of you But I'm gonna split us back in two Tired of living in a cloud If you're gonna say shit now you'll do it out loud It's 2:45 in the morning And I'm putting myself on warning For waking up in an unknown place With a recollection you've half-erased Looking for somebody's arms To wave away past harm Walking out on Center Circle Both of you can just fade to black Walking out on Center Circle Been pushed away and I'll never come back

Chords in the chorus are wrong. It's A7, Am, D, C (with 3 on E string).
